    Welp. I'm off tomorrow and temps will be approaching 50 degrees.......and there's fucking snow on the ground (and if it's gone by tomorrow the courses will be way too muddy to play on). I've also discovered a different stretch that really helps my lower back so I really cannot wait to get out there and play pain free. Damn you weather!!!! Damn you to hell!!

    Played my first round of the season today. Shot 78. I've been able to practice since we have our indoor facility but it was nice to actually get out and have real round pressure and real targets to hit to .We had some rain here over the weekend so every tee shot was all carry. Big takeaway from the round is that I need to spend more time on distance control with my wedges.

    That is a great first round in some sloppy conditions probably.

    And the caddie is still saying what a nice guy he is, and that he wished it didn't become this.
    Kuchar looking more and more like a douche.

    Not a good look for Kuchar.  Sounds like they did have a specific agreement before the tourney but fuck, you just won 1.3M....throw the guy $50K.

    Wonder if this will translate into consistent boos from the crowds.

    I am not about people yelling after shots just to get on TV, but I hope, I really hope, someone gets a good "ALLIGATOR ARMS!" in right after he hits a tee shot and it's on TV

    I don't think it changes his perception in general too much.  I think it will mostly be impacted with younger fans, there are a lot of old cheap country club fans that will still be team sketchers.

    Amen! You know it’s coming. That would be epic.

    I'd like to hear of a group of about 10-15 of the best players chip in about 5K each and pay the guy. Would be a great PR move on their part.

    18 is great. The US am there a couple years ago was incredible. 18 has so much strategy. Right side and those trees are gonna give you problems. Up that hill. Great hole
